What Makes a Strong Honors Candidate?

Students often ask how they might stand out as a strong candidate for the program. Our program is not just for students who have taken multiple AP or Honors courses and/or have a high GPA. We look for students who are curious, creative, and persevering. We want to know what makes applicants and our students unique!

A few qualities that help applicants stand out:

• Desire to improve and grow
• Passionate about something important to them (activism, sport, volunteering, crafting, painting, music, etc.)
• Interest in being active in the Honors community
• Ability to recognize mistakes and think about ways to better address them in the future
